Oakdale grew as a Gilded Age retreat on the Great South Bay, where Vanderbilt's Idle Hour estate and other mansions once lined the Connetquot River. Today the hamlet mixes homes built on former estate land, older shingle houses and postwar ranches and Capes. Its South Shore setting brings a high water table near the river and bay, so roof water that is not carried away tends to linger around foundations. Tall oaks and pines, especially near the Connetquot preserve, drop steady debris into gutters. Storms off the bay bring wind-driven rain and salt, which is hard on gutters, fascia and paint that are not up to the job.
Montauk Highway, Sunrise Highway and Oakdale-Bohemia Road are the roads everyone in Oakdale knows, and the hamlet, set between Sayville and Great River, reaches south to the shore of the Great South Bay. The former Vanderbilt mansion, Idle Hour, later became the campus of Dowling College, which closed in 2016. North of Sunrise Highway, Connetquot River State Park Preserve protects more than 3,400 acres of land and water, with miles of trails, fly-fishing on the river and the historic South Side Sportsmen's Club. From the bayfront streets to the neighborhoods near the Connetquot preserve, we install and service seamless gutters throughout Oakdale.
Near the river and bay, hand-dug underground drainage is often the most valuable upgrade, moving leader water away from foundations on low lots without heavy equipment damaging lawns and landscaping. Homes under oaks and pines benefit from Alcoa Leaf Relief, our all-aluminum guard. Alcoa aluminum, Galvalume and copper gutters handle salt air, and soft-wash roof cleaning removes the moss and staining common on shaded roofs.

It may be both the gutters and where the water ends up. In low areas near the Connetquot River and Great South Bay, water from leaders can sit near foundations. We can install extension tails or leach basins to move it away. All work is dug by hand to protect your yard.
We install Alcoa Leaf Relief, an all-aluminum system designed for heavy debris, and recommend it over plastic or vinyl guards. Pine needles are tough on any system, so we still suggest periodic checks. We also offer cleaning programs that include a roof inspection.
Yes. We offer soft-wash roof cleaning, sometimes called a roof shampoo, which uses a gentle method rather than power washing. Shaded roofs under tall trees often grow moss and algae. A soft wash removes the growth without damaging shingles, and it pairs well with a gutter cleaning, since debris from the roof often ends up in the gutters.
Yes. New gutter installations carry a 25-year warranty on materials and labor. Our standard material is Alcoa aluminum, fabricated on site into seamless runs, with Galvalume and copper available for homeowners who want another look or added durability. Estimates are free, and we will walk the property with you to plan the system.
